BenQ debuts today the 3.5-pound 13.3” Joybook S35 and 4.6-pound 14” Joybook S43, powered by Intel’s latest ULV processors.

The Joybooks feature super-fast WIFI, eSATA high-speed data transfer, and extra-long battery life – 11 hours on the S35 using an optional 8-cell battery and 5.5 hours with the standard 4-cell battery; almost 5 hours on the S43 with a standard 6-cell battery. A suite of multimedia must-haves for work and play include HDMI, dGPU (S43 only), a 2-channel TruSurround HD system, 500GB HDD, 8X Super-Multi DVD (S43 only), and UltraVivid high-definition LED screens sporting 16:9 aspect ratios.

The Intel’s ULV processors (Core 2 Duo SU7300, Core 2 Solo SU3500, or Celeron 723/743) ensure solid performance for office, multimedia, and Internet. Second, visual magnificence is guaranteed full-screen and artifact-free in native 1366×768 resolution courtesy of an 8ms response time, performance GPUs (ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 dGPU on the S43; Intel GMA4500M iGPU on the S35), all-digital HDMI connection, and the sheer benefits in color and contrast that come with LED technology.

For multimedia bliss, the S35 and S43 are equipped with a webcam (with Magic-i Visual Effects 2 and WebCam Companion 3), microphone, integrated speakers, a 2-channel TruSurround HD™ sound system with SRS Headphone 360™, and a large-capacity HDD (available up to 500GB) for loading a take-anywhere digital multimedia library. Both models boast eSATA high-speed data connection for data transfer that’s three times faster than USB 2.0. The S43 is further distinguished by an 8X DVD Super-Multi optical disc drive.

The Joybook S35 and S43 ULV notebooks will begin launching end of August and will eventually be sold throughout China, Taiwan, and the Asia Pacific.
